Salusin-α and salusin-β peptides are crucial in the development of cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD). This study compared serum levels of these peptides in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), those with both OSA and CAD. Patients without OSA were included in Group 1, those with OSA alone comprised Group 2, and those with OSA and CAD were in Group 3. Salusin-α level was significantly higher in controls than in Groups 2 and 3, while salusin-β levels were significantly higher in Groups 2 and 3 compared with the control group. Salusin-α and -β levels may be parameters that can guide the diagnosis of OSA in patients with a consistent clinical history.

Study Objectives: Physicians-in-training (residents, fellows) and Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) receive limited education on sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). They often assess patients first. We aimed to understand their views on OSA and screening for OSA in the perioperative period.

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in Down syndrome (DS) with many patients prescribed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. This study evaluates PAP adherence and identifies factors influencing adherence.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of electronic health records and cloud-based PAP therapy data from DS patients at Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego, CA.

A decrease in REM time during polysomnography (PSG) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can result in underestimation of apnea hypopnea index (AHI). We propose adjusting AHI to normalized REM% in subjects with REM% ≤15% to avoid under diagnosis of OSA. All children who completed diagnostic PSG from 2016 to 2023 with REM% of ≤ 15% of total TST were selected for adjustment.
